Description of problem:
I installed WS 4 on a Latitude D600.  It created an fstab something like what I've pasted below where hda1=vfat_diag_part, hda2=windowsXP, hda3=/boot, hda4=ext, hda5=swap, hda6=/.  I was overwriting a SuSE install if that makes any difference.  Sorry I have to work from memory, but this fstab is correct in the essentials.

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot1            /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hda5         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

After the installation finished, the machine dropped me to recovery mode during the first boot - complaining that it couldn't fsck.ext3 /dev/hda5 (that's swap).  I rebooted several times and it was always the same.  Also, df showed that /boot was mounted but was the same size and space used as / (clearly not true) yet ls showed /boot was empty.  /etc/mtab showed that these were mounted rw but that was also not true.  swap was not mounted either.  

If I remounted / rw and mounted /boot and turned on swap the system seemed normal.  I eventually fixed this by removing *all* the LABEL directives and replacing them with the device names (just doing swap wasn't enough, nor was rerunning mkswap). 

I wish I had taken notes to give a better bug report but I didn't so this is all I have.  Sorry.  The anaconda logs are available if that's useful.
